good Governor, but it isn't time yet
for any Southern man to be Vice
President. Go slow. 1t is loaded.

The late Major Mordecai, of North
Carolina, met the Gar of Russia once
and in the course of the conversation,
which was carried on in French, sd-
dressed him as Monsieur" Turning
to Gen. Mcclellan, the Major said:
"D-n the fellow; | called him mis-.
ter" The Gar, with a smile remark
ed: "Let us talk English; we can get

Every foot of road that is improved
or built by convict labor is just so
much in the interest of the taxpayer
and in no other capacity can it be em-
ployed where the results of this labor
may be so equally distributed to tbs
taxpayers of the State. A year ago
we were confronted with the argument
that it was impracticable to work this
labor proitably on public roads, and
on this argument was based an excuse
for giving this labor away to private
and corporate enterprises. But light
is breaking in on this subject through
the action of our courts. In num-
| Der of counties, criminals are being
worked on the roads satisfactory and
proftably. 1t is being demonstrated
that they can be worked and worked
to profit in this way.-Prosressive

CONSPICUOUS among the names wHisa
have been suggested in connection
with the Democratic nomination for
Governor next year is that Of Mr..
Julian S. Carr, of Durham. II is not
unnatural that this should be 81 Mr..

progressive ideas in business ability
be is the first man in the State; he IL
eminert for his public spirit and char
ties, and is withal winning gentle
man. That he should have large
popularity and extended influence is
natural and proper, and among North
| Carolinians there is not one who
would make better Governor. But
Mr.. Carr is not an aspirant for the
| nomination. He does not desire it,
and is openly and avowedly the friend
of Judge Clark for Governor and will
throw the weight of his influence to
him.-Statcsville Landmark.
